yea like all those naked photos of Jessica Alba*Blissfully ignorant mode* I'm sure it'll be fine!
I'll go check the voltages and go from there!
Thanks people.
Make sure you back up all your files. In case anything does happen.

Nightmare! I hope it's Ok Jammy, we lost our PC a few weeks ago.....
I'm soooo glad we bought a surge protector for the new one, we had four power cuts within a two minute gap this morning, but the little UPS is working a treat- phew!!
Good luck sorting it out.....
Hi there
New here but unfortunatly my computer was just plugged into 240 while the switch was on 120. I heard a small bang and then nothing. It smelled kinda funny too. Please help! What happened to my computer. I get no response when I try to power up. I have checked the chord and it is good. Is my mother board dead?
appreciate any help
thanks

if you heard a bang and a little puff of smoke... then something melted or burned.
the yellow wire as loads of people have pointed out is a 12v feed.
and that you found it had slightly scorched the graphics card is nothing to really worry about..
i would be checking the volts and as a precaution getting a new psu anyway...
but id give it a go for a few hours running some games to see if you've cooked your graphics card.
only time ive ever made a pc bang was discovering the switch on the back of the psu 110 - 240v..
and switching it to 110
all good fun!

Chances are you might be OK, and only the power supply is dead - however a power supply that has gone 'pop' in this manner CAN damage the rest of the computer. I've had everythng in a computer die from a bad PSU, hard drives, RAM, graphics card, motherboard and CPU - all toast! Not one of mine though, happend when I was still working as a computer tech.....was an important server too.
Just replace the PSU with a new one and see if everything starts up as normal, then run a few basic test to make sure everything is working (try running a graphics intensive game, this should quickly let you know if something is failing, as the game will stress the components), chances are fairly good that you will be OK though.
Don't be tempted to open the PSU and try to fix it yourself though - they hold a big charge of electricity for quite a while after being unplugged, and there is nothing you can replace yourself - unless your familiar with switch-mode power supplies.
